Nice condo but VERY poor parking arrangments

Let me first state that this is a beautiful condo . My over all experience for this condo is good . They have it well taken care of , updated and decorated tastefully . Their cleaning lady is a very nice young lady and eager to assist you whenver needed .
The BeachColony Resort is very nice and pretty offering you many places to swim and relax and even a on ground ice cream shop and bar/restraunt . They also offer all lounges and table and umbrellas so that was very nice . The traffic in the area of the Resort is very little making it easy to get around as well.
With all that being said I apologize to the Sturkies in advance for my personal opinions of the following areas :
Luggage rack were sparangly and the one we did get was broken and wobbly it was of no use. Carrying most of our luggage down a ramp , over a walkway that isnt that big and up the elevator was a little ridiculous and not a very good first impression or beginning og our vacation .
Elevators were very slow my husband and kids would walk the steps and me and my Aunt stood one day for about 8 mins waiting on a elevator and the cleaning staff there commented on how bad they was getting . I had to take the elevators as my 81 yr old aunt would not be able to walk steps .
My biggest complaint is the HORRIBLE parking /parking deck . The first level is for over sized vehicles which is a joke . People parking in that area was irrate at the parking given to people with large vehicles . We took the chance to go up some levels and try to park up there and the parking was no better . Only one vehicle could pass side by side on occasion two small cars was able to go side by side . The ramps were small and could only squeeze one vehicle on it at a time and that turn for a truck was not the greatest . There was times we would even have to back up to let vehicles go through. There was a few times the personal sympathized with us b/c we had my 81 yr old Aunt with us and allowed us to park in the loading lanes out front as long as we didnt block traffic . This parking was such a stress with having my Aunt that I will not return .I had a hard time enjoying myself after going through the parking deck but instead being frustrated b/c of the lack of parking and poor excuse of a parking garage.
Let me repaet the condo is nice and well worth every penny to rent . The location is great and uncongested however the parking is the deal breaker for me .
